Spend lots of my life looking at and thinking about moving pictures and sounds, and making my own. Cats are endlessly fascinating and I like having them on me. The pleasure of listening to music can make me cry. I live in Chicago. Gayyyyyyyyy. He/Him.

I interpret this as "someone told dad that you'd been talking with a counselor who does interventions and he's super mad at you so you better go to him and tell him it's not true and that you know he only has one or two beers after work on most nights." bsky.app/profile/chad...

"mass-market paperback" and "trade paperback" have specific industry definitions - "mass-market" == the small less-expensive ones with the cheap paper - those are the ones that the article says are going away, not "trade" (or "hardcover"), at least for now...

I think if a few elected officials in San Francisco (17th most populous US city) had just done one or two things differently, maybe ONLY the policy of making math class easy because Asians were doing too well or whatever the hell it was, the earth would have been saved from fascism

It’s just amusing that with these AI tools and agents we seem to be getting back to this truth:
A team of strong software engineers who care about the quality + maintainability of the codebase >> A team of devs using powerful AI coding agents rather mindlessly

Could America win the AI race but lose the war?
The US has gone all-in on artificial intelligence. But the idea of an end-of-times battle with China over tomorrow’s key technology is part delusion, part lobbying tool for Silicon Valley
